Abbaye dAulne Triple Blonde Sur Lie

Brewed by Brasserie Val De Sambre
Style: Abbey Tripel
Gozée, Belgium

750mL bottle. Pours clear golden, topped with a medium sized white head. Aroma of yeast, white pepper, coriander, and other spices. Flavor is pretty basic; yeast, sugar, light citrus, and mild spice. Thin bodied, and fairly effervescent. Finishes sweet, with yeast and spice. Drinkable, but not very exciting.

Golden colored and pours with a nice thick fluffy white head. Thick lacing. Aroma is fruity, apples, banana, pears, with yeast and a little spice. This drinks lighter than the 9% with all the aforementioned fruity flavors with the addition of some clove. Refreshing. Nice beer.

bottle thanks to Papsoe, I think. Shared at July tasting at KAggie’s house. Pours a clear yellow with a white head. Good lacing. Nose is of Belgian yeast and a faint lemon. Taste is slightly of lemon and peach. Mouthfeel is creamy with lots of carbonation. Very smooth and drinkable.

Corked bottle at the July Houston tasting, courtesy of MaltOMeal. Thanks! Pours a thick, lively cheddar yellow with a nice white head. Hints of sweet cedar, musty fruit bread, and weak lemon. Flavor is bready pear with a nice finish of lemon tea and slight cherry. Semi-thin mouthfeel that doesn’t impress but the richness of the flavors make up for this shortcoming. Nice brew.

25.4 oz bottle 5/3/09 Bottle named Heylissem (Binnys Naperville)-Pours a clear golden with lots of floaties and a big white head. Aroma of yeast, floral, and a bit of malt.
